Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Incidence of post-spinal headache will be evaluated. A telephone followup call will use to ask patients if they have a headache. We will use visual analogue scale (0-10). If patients didnt discharged we ask questions in hospital face to face.[The patients were questioned for possible occurrence of spinal anesthesia induced headache on the first, third and seventh postoperative days. ]

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Duration of surgery (assessed by review of hospital records).[Total operation time];Complications associated with spinal anesthesia (Number of hypotensive episodes, total ephedrine and fluid requirements, intraoperative nausea and vomiting and shivering) will assess by review of hospital records.[These outcomes will be assessed during the entire operation.]
